I recommend this food tour. Zephyr our tour guide was engaging, kind, pleasant and gave us a history of the area we were in throughout the whole tour. I learned quite a bit from this tour, food wise and history wise.
Wonderful.

The experience was great. We arrived late and the tour guide Orestis was amazing. He pinned his live location so we could catch up to the tour and showed us the different foods of Athens. It was definitely a tour that I would recommend for first timers to Athens. Great job and thank you for letting us catch up with the tour.

Lucas was an outstanding guide. As a history teacher he was able to offer historical insights of the culture along with tasting great food. The time quickly flew by as we covered a variety of venues. The food covered a wide variety and the wine paired perfectly with the food. Pastries, honey, breakfast treats, deli meats, cheeses, liquor and more which ends with delicious donuts. You absolutely have to come hungry as there is so much to eat. You see and understand so much more of beautiful Athens with Lucas as your guide. Highly recommend.
